Introduction

I attended UW Tacoma back when the campus was in the Perkins Building on 11th and A. street. While I was a student, I was a founding member of Tahoma West and worked as a student assistant for both the Library and in the computer lab. 

I started working full time for the Library in 1996 as a Library Technician. I held various Library jobs in the five years after that, including the Technician Lead position for Circulation. I am now the Head of Library IT and the Makerspace.
